How do we feel about this? My initial reaction is that it’s going to be a very expensive story to tell, but one that’s over pretty quickly…
This is the best summary I could come up with:
He also wrote the Keanu Reeves action comic adaptation BRZRKR and an animated Terminator series which he is also showrunning for Netflix.
The story follows the invader Aegon Targaryen, who conquered the continent of Westeros with his sister wives, Rhaenys and Visenya, and their dragons.
Martin’s epic fantasy universe (though considering the first series was sprawling and complex, it’s unclear what “back to basics” means, exactly, in the Thrones context).
Variety previously reported Aegon’s Conquest as an idea in discussion early last year.
The efforts have spawned two greenlit shows: House of the Dragon, which launches its second season this summer; and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight, which starts production this year and is based on Martin’s Dunk and Egg novellas.
Tomlin, repped by CAA, Brillstein Entertainment Partners, and Goodman Genow, has shown he can flex in various genres, wrote the Jamie Foxx Netflix super power crime thriller Project Power and worked as a consultant on the Oscar-nominated animated movie The Sea Beast.
The original article contains 332 words, the summary contains 167 words. Saved 50%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Man, this is epic. I really hope they do it justice. I’d much rather they just do this than even bother doing dunk and egg when it is nowhere near completed.
